STORRS, Conn. — The Dartmouth men's track and field team closed out the weekend with the Northeast Challenge at UConn on Saturday.

Liam Murray highlighted the day for the Big Green as he finished fifth in the 400m dash with a time of 47.65 seconds, moving into fourth all-time in program history for the event and into seventh on the Ivy League performance list.

Jake Dalton and Ben Pable both finished in the top 10 for the hammer throw. Dalton claimed third with a throw of 62.17m while Pable took sixth with a mark of 58.08m.

Ethan Hughes set a PR in four of the five decathlon events on Saturday. Hughes set new personal bests in the 110m hurdles (16.40), discus (31.82m), javelin (47.94m), and the 1500m race (5:10.55).

The Big Green were scheduled to compete in the 400m dash and 800m race at the Larry Ellis Invitational at Princeton. However, inclement weather cancelled the remaining portion of the meet prior to those events starting.

Dartmouth will compete in two meets next weekend. The Big Green are scheduled to take part in the Virginia Challenge on Friday and Saturday as well as the George Davis Invitational at UMass Lowell on Saturday.
